### Notes:

1. Javi is almost done, almost ready to be submit
2. FAIR guidelines: difficulties with making Interoperability and Reusability simple, not too much technical 
 Carla: to cover the principles with a simple, visual points
MM - make a diagram - if you do that, what result comes from this on the FAIR principles.
3. People form ICPN do not seem keen to participte in the ontology work. One last try to connect to RM Albert as she expressed some interest in it. Something else to talk to RM is the phytcore database and how to make it really an open access reference collection.
